Fall Market Introductions
The Fieldcrest Fall Market Introductions are highlighted by
three important and timely collections. The Glory of the Maya, a
collection inspired by a distinguished group of Guatemalan tex
tiles, is perhaps one of the most colorful that showroom design
ers Bill and Erika Shank have ever had from which to create the
New York show floor. Using the Mayan Temple as a guideline
they constructed Fieldcrest’s own mini-temple where two Guate
malan patterns are featured.
Both PRIMITIVO, a blue and green geometric pattern, and
TEMPLE STRIPE, a boldly striped red and white design, have
been adapted from Mayan huipils (pronounced weepils) the tra
ditional over-blouse garment. The Primitive design was adapted
from the village of Cotzol, and the two patterns that comprise
Temple Stripe are derived from the tribal costume of men in a
remote Guatemalan village, Todos Santos, home of the Mam
tribe of Mayan Indians.
Complimenting these two colorful collections is the handsome
selection of bath towels. Primitive, Mayan Stripe, Earth and Sky,
and the Dancing Lion, all symbols of this glorious ancient cul
ture.
This year Gustav Zumsteg will extend his highly success-
